When rescuers from Main Line Animal Rescue (MLAR) walked through the crowded aisles of a local shelter this past summer, one trembling dog caught their eye.
Pressed against the metal bars of her kennel, the little dog — named Jellybean — looked up at them with wide, desperate eyes. Her paws reached through the cage, as if begging someone to notice her.
“When I saw Jellybean in her kennel at ACCT, she immediately jumped up, almost pleading for someone to notice her,” an MLAR representative told The Dodo. “When we found out she was timestamped for euthanasia due to lack of space, we knew we had to save her. Her story wasn’t over yet.”
Without hesitation, the MLAR team pulled Jellybean from the shelter and brought her to safety. The transformation began almost immediately.
Once she realized she was no longer in danger, Jellybean’s fear began to melt away — replaced by sweetness, affection, and trust.
“Jelly is a total lovebug!” the representative said. “She could not be sweeter. She’ll lean right into you for every bit of love she can get.”
Now safe and thriving, Jellybean is ready for her next chapter: finding her forever home.
“Jelly does great with everyone she meets,” her rescuers said. “She’d love an active family who’ll include her in all their adventures. She’s also wonderful with other dogs — the perfect new friend for a pup who needs a playmate.”
After coming so close to losing her life, Jellybean is finally getting the chance she always deserved.
“Whenever you save a dog from euthanasia, knowing how close they came to not making it, you just hope they get to experience everything good this world has to offer,” MLAR shared. “Our greatest wish for Jellybean is that she finds a family who loves her, cherishes her, and realizes how lucky they are to have her.”
